This is a first for me. I have seen one last year, flitting through the garden, but it didn't alight on our plants.
My wife found this on our miniature Apple tree. It parked itself in the shade, so I made moves to lift it into the sunlight, as it was only about 6 deg. C.
This friendly little thing was happy to climb onto my finger and be photographed :-))
Tip.
Sometimes props can be your lighting gear. Like in this case the beautiful #elinchromltd FS30 fresnel.
But it can be anything of course.
By using things you already own as props you not only save money but you also give the model something that makes posing easier and helps with story telling.
Props can be lighting gear, cameras, tools etc. be creative. But before you buy stuff (also a good idea) make sure you first look around you. You'll be suprised by what you already own.
Fiction: Jackie Rivera, an attractive, charismatic, and energetic young lead vocalist for her band Night Whispers, is about to finish her second set of songs with her band until master martial magician Alexander Victor's grandmother, his mentor and "partner in crime", stops her to ask for directions to the Circus Club. Backstage when no one's around and looking.
Well, it is just the two of them until Alexander suddenly appears from nowhere to grab Jackie, filling her subconscious with plenty of magic tricks and martial arts techniques... and giving Grandma plenty of time to change Jackie, with no martial arts background at all, into a black belt and karate gi ironed and tailor-made just for her! You see, another unreliable assistant bailed out at the last minute, leaving Alexander and his grandmother to take desperate measures, even if it means kidnapping a young woman to ensure his fans a performance!

Owner driver Mick Bonello is seen leaving the fertilizer storage sheds in Melbourne's dock area with another load of "Super". Towards the end of Leyland Truck models' availability in Australia, which was managed by Jaguar Rover Australia (JRA) the G-cabbed models were quite popular. However as the competition improved in terms of cab comfort and engine power, coupled to the uncertainty of supply from the ailing BL truck and bus division in the UK, Leyland's one time considerable presence in Australia fizzled-out completely.
London Transport battery locomotives L21/24 accelerate away from Harrow-on-the-Hill with empty wagons returning to Neasden from Croxley Tip in December 1977. Until 1971, such duties would have been performed by the ex-GWR pannier tanks.

PG Tips is a brand of tea in the United Kingdom, manufactured by Unilever UK who claims that Britons drink 35 million cups of PG Tips a day.
PG Tips was first launched by Brooke Bond in 1930; at that time it was known as Digestive. After the Second World War, labelling regulations ruled out describing tea as aiding digestion—a property that tea was previously attributed—and Brooke Bond changed the brand name to PRE-GEST-TEE (Taking the main elements of PRE-diGESTive TEA). This was shortened by the van salesmen to PG, and the name stuck, eventually being changed on the cartons sold to shops, and by 1950/1 the name PG Tips was officially adopted.
"Tips" refers to the fact that only the tips (the top two leaves and bud) of the tea plants are used in the blend.

It's been quite a good year for this species and there's still a lot of them out there this week alongside a lot of the other spring butterflies. Managed to get a few shots of this one by the local brook yesterday evening. I usually get them on a green background with grass or leaves, so it was nice to get this one against the shadows of the trees on the bank opposite.

I think I am addicted to the Macro Monday and was thinking what to do for this week's topic "Contrast".
Opened the drawer and thought of screws.As there are several forms of contrast. In this picture I could finally catch the red and green reflections of copper. I used one flash, a white cloth as reflector and a LED Flash light to aid focussing. HMM everyone!

Nikon D810Wide Angle Zoom Lens Photos of Scripts Pier Sunset! Dr. Elliot McGucken Fine Art Landscape & Nature Photography for Los Angeles Gallery Show !
Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" which is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!
Let me know your favs.!
